Chapter 462: Chapter 462: Don’t Look for Your Wife’s Family in the Garbage Heap

They made her cook the first time she visited their home.

They’re clearly trying to assert their dominance over Zhang Yue’e.

If Yue’e were to truly marry into their family one day, she would never be able to hold her head up in front of them.

Zhang Yue’e’s social circle is small and she doesn’t have parents, so she has no experience with this sort of thing. Feeling instinctively uncomfortable, she wrestled with it all day, thought it through, and decided that out of all the people she knew, only Suizi was smart enough to give her advice.

"How did Xiaoli react?" Suizi looked at Zhang Yue’e, who was clearly upset.

Suizi couldn’t imagine if her own daughter would have to deal with such a stubborn and unreasonable mother-in-law when she grows up, how she would handle it.

To be precise, she doesn’t know how to stop Yu Jingting from setting a house on fire - she had no doubt that if anyone bullied Luoluo, Yu Jingting would indeed set the house on fire. He was indeed the kind of eccentric father-in-law one hears about.

"His mother sent him far away to buy something. By the time he came back, I had finished cooking. Not a single member of his family mentioned that I was the one who cooked."

Suizi’s eyes twitched. So this naive girl had suffered in silence?

"Did you tell him afterwards?"

Zhang Yue’e shook her head, tears welling up in her eyes.

In front of everyone, Li’s mother asked about her family background. When she discovered that Yue’e’s parents were both deceased, Li’s mother started talking about the concept of bad marital luck.

She spoke about a high-cheekboned woman in the neighborhood who brought bad luck to her husband’s family as well as her own.

After saying this, she added, don’t misunderstand your cheekbones aren’t high. Immediately someone added, apart from high cheekbones, there are other signs of bad luck, aren’t there?

Even a fool would understand what they were implying now.

Xiaoli, unable to bear the sight, pulled her up and left. Li’s mother cursed at him from behind, saying that he had been bewitched by a vixen, and that he would remove his mother as soon as he got a wife.

Everyone went their separate ways in a bad mood.

Xiaoli didn’t go to work today, which was definitely related to this.

Suizi frowned and thought for a moment. From Yue’e’s description, Xiaoli had reacted in a very vague way and hadn’t clearly taken sides. For now, she decided to put his attitude aside.

Looking at the Li family alone, it was clear they were not a good match.

"Are you prepared?" Suizi asked.

"For what?" Zhang Yue’e was confused.

"Are you prepared to deal with a difficult mother-in-law, to engage in a lifetime of wits and bravery? Either you have the skill to keep her in check, so that she never dares to mess with you again in her life, or you can become a saint who tolerates everything, regardless of how she misbehaves."

Yue’e hesitated.

She couldn’t become an absolute shrew, so the first option wasn’t suitable for her.

Although she wasn’t quick-tempered, she also couldn’t achieve the level of tolerance Suizi described, where nothing mattered to her. So the second option wasn’t suitable either.

"Xiaoli said he would take care of me and asked me not to care about his mother..."

"If he really had the ability to handle his mother, then why hasn’t he dared to introduce you to his parents proactively during all the time you have been dating? If it wasn’t for running into them by chance yesterday, he would probably have kept delaying it, wouldn’t he?"

Suizi hit the nail on the head, and Zhang Yue’e fell silent, her face pale.

Xiaoli is not a bad man.

If there were no interference from family factors, this would not be a bad marriage.

But with the family’s disapproval, this marriage had to be reconsidered.

"Don’t believe in the nonsense that everything will be solved as time goes by. The problems you can’t solve now, you won’t be able to solve easily in the many years to come."

"So you mean... break up?" When Zhang Yue’e said this word, her heart trembled.

"What I mean is, if you can resolve the conflict with his mother, do it now. If you can’t, and you plan to escape from the problems like an ostrich, then I can only give you this."

Suizi opened her drawer, and took out a small medicine bottle from inside.

"What is this?"

"It’s deer antler cap powder. It’s the platform-like antler base on a stag’s head after the antler velvet is harvested. When the antler is shed, the antler beam and the antler base separate and break away. This part that falls off is the deer antler cap, and it’s quite valuable."

"Why are you giving me this?"

"This can be used to treat breast diseases. Women who are constantly angry are very likely to develop breast hyperplasia. You should prepare in advance."

Suizi added, "When you get married, I’ll give you a couplet to hang on your door. ’Tolerate a moment of anger, suffer from breast hyperplasia - step back and get ovarian cysts’. The horizontal scroll would read, ’Don’t look for a mother-in-law in the trash heap.’

"..." Zhang Yue’e was left speechless and couldn’t even cry.

Suizi was definitely picking at her, bearing the typical manner of the older generation in the Yu family.

"Suizi, don’t get angry at what I’m about to say - I heard that your mother-in-law used to be a very tough person, known as an undefeated fighter in the village?"

Suizi’s home was not far from the night school, and Wang Cuihua was a chatty person, so it wasn’t surprising that news reached there.

"Although my mother-in-law is constantly nagging Jingting, she seldom gets physical with outsiders. Saying that she’s an undefeated fighter in the village is a bit of an exaggeration, but she is really good at cursing people. At her most skillful, she was able to curse someone so badly in front of their door that they almost took poison."

The cause was, that person slandered her mother-in-law saying she was keeping a man on the side.

Zhang Yue’e swallowed nervously, it sounded like Suizi’s mother-in-law wasn’t someone you’d want to mess with.

"But she treats you well?"

"It wouldn’t be accurate to say she treats me very well, but that she treats me incredibly well."

"Then is it possible that I might be able to win over his mother, and coexist in peace in the future?"

What Yue’e was thinking was that if Suizi could get along with her mother-in-law harmoniously, perhaps there was hope for her too.

"It’s not impossible, if his mother gets Alzheimer’s in her old age, or falls seriously ill and has to rely on you to take care of her, there is indeed a possibility that you two will coexist in peace. However, if she stays healthy, the possibility is zero. According to my experience, these hyperactive, drama-loving old ladies tend to live up to a hundred years."

Those who like to hurt others often live longer than those who get hurt.

When they bully others, the anger is vented out, so they are happy and where would they get sick from?

"What’s the secret to your harmonious relationship with your mother-in-law?" Yue’e rarely heard about good relationships with mothers-in-law.

"We’re both good people, and while our living habits may differ, we tolerate and understand each other. Gentlemen can disagree and still be harmonious. But the most important reason—you’ll understand in 20 years."

Having lived two lives, she had seen a lot and met many people. She knew how to get along with different people, and her horizons weren’t limited to household matters, so there was naturally no room for arguments.

"I don’t understand."

"Simply put, if you want to hatch a phoenix, you have to find a phoenix egg and hatch it with love and action. If you grab a crocodile egg and put all your efforts into hatching it, even if you bleed from exhaustion, put in all your effort, love it until you’re utterly drained, you can only hatch a crocodile."

The harder the wrong path is pursued, the further one gets from the desired outcome.

These truths sound simple, but it’s hard for a woman in love to take them to heart.

Yue’e lowered her head and thought about Xiaoli. She didn’t want to let go yet.

Suizi didn’t push, especially at this time, urging a breakup would just push them closer together. She would have to wait for Yue’e to realize it on her own.

As Suizi was talking with Zhang Yue’e, there was a loud commotion from outside:

"Call your leader out! I have something to report!"

Upon hearing this voice, Zhang Yue’e turned pale.

It was Xiaoli’s mother. She couldn’t forget that shrill voice!
